People who try out wire crochet usually end up liking it. The beginner beaders at our workshops including those who have never done crochet before, love the final result. The pieces have the look of hand crafted jewelry which looks difficult to do. Far from it, it's actually easy.

Michael also presented this accompanying video tutorial for making a wire and bead crochet bracelet. He made a few beaded chains which are braided together or just left separate before attaching to the clasp. This technique is forgiving - you can see him adjusting the final positions of the beads as well as the bracelet length itself.
